A Roman Catholic Parish of the Archdiocese of New York
Our Parish Mission
The Roman Catholic faith community of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish strives to live out the Gospel message of love, compassion and forgiveness. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are sustained by the sacraments. Through the intercession of Mary, we strive to share our time, talent and treasure to grow together spiritually, and to provide religious and academic education to our parishioners of all ages. We seek the greater good of those in need, so that all who seek may find the loving presence of God.
Our History

3) 2023 Mass Book: Intentions for the 2023 O.L.S. Mass Book are now being accepted. Please mail a list of your requested Mass intentions, drop it off in the rectory mailbox (located outside the rectory office by the small parking lot side) or via email at olscc@optonline.net. A total of 5 intentions will be accepted - 2 Sunday Masses and 3 weekday Masses. As in the past, no intentions are accepted for Easter and Christmas Masses. Our current Mass schedule will remain in place - one Mass at 8am Monday through Saturday and Masses at 5pm Saturday and 7:30am, 10am and 12 noon on Sunday. Please include the following information on your list: your name, address, phone number and email address. Your list of requested Masses must include the intention (i.e., person’s name - neatly printed please) and indicate if living or deceased. The cost of an announced Mass is $20 per intention. When a list is received at the rectory office it will be stamped with the date and time received to allow for “first come first served fairness.” You will be notified in writing of the intentions that were arranged based on your list. If a date and/or time was not available, the closest to your request will be entered in the Mass Book. Due to the volume of requests we have received in the past for the opening of the Mass Book, we cannot work with you over the phone at this time.
